Nano-particle transistors and energy-level spectroscopy in metals

چکیده
We report the fabrication of single-electron tunneling transistors consisting of a single nmscale aluminum particle connected via tunnel junctions to two leads and capacitively coupled to a third gate electrode. We have used these devices to measure the spectra of discrete electronic quantum energy levels in the particle while tuning the number of electrons it contains. c © 1996 Academic Press Limited

Quantum modeling of light absorption in graphene based photo-transistors
Graphene based optical devices are highly recommended and interested for integrated optical circuits. As a main component of an optical link, a photodetector based on graphene nano-ribbons is proposed and studied. A quantum transport model is presented for simulation of a graphene nano-ribbon (GNR) -based photo-transistor based on non-equilibrium Green’s function method. In the proposed model a...

In this study, spectroscopic properties of the single-walled boron-nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) –a semiconductor channel in molecular diodes and molecular transistors–have been investigated under field-free and various applied electric fields by first principle methods.Our analysis shows that increasing the electric field in boron-nitride nanotube (BNNT) decreases the Highest Occupied Crystal Orbi...
متن کاملSynthesis of nano-sized ceria (CeO2) particles via a cerium hydroxy carbonate precursor and the effect of reaction temperature on particle morphology
Cerium oxide (CeO2) or ceria has been shown to be an interesting support material for noble metals in catalysts designed for emission control, mainly due to its oxygen storage capacity. Ceria nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method. The precursor materials used in this research were cerium nitrate hexahydrate (as a basic material), potassium carbonate and potassium hydroxide (as pre...

متن کاملBiosensors Based on Nano-Gold/Zeolite-Modified Ion Selective Field-Effect Transistors for Creatinine Detection
The combination of advantages of using zeolites and gold nanoparticles were aimed to be used for the first time to improve the characteristic properties of ion selective field-effect transistor (ISFET)-based creatinine biosensors. The biosensors with covalently cross-linked creatinine deiminase using glutaraldehyde (GA) were used as a control group, and the effect of different types of zeolites...
